,EEne A. T.. HI. lecture.

The Hon. &. W. Chambers, member of the
City Council of Baton Rouge and Deputy
Grand Commander of the American Legion
of Honor, arrived in Opelousas on Tuesday
morning last. In the evening meeting of the
members of Opelousas Council No. 46S was
held, at which a very interesting lecture was
delivered by Mr. Chambers upon the inner
workings of the order, and from which the
members received much solid instruction. At
7:45 p. m. being introduced by Commander
l.. A, Sandoz, Mr.. Chambers delivered pub
lie lecture at Perrodins Hall to very appre-
ciative audience, upon the objects, purposes
and benefits of the American Legion of Hanor.
He handled his subject with ability, and IN Il
manner that commanded the closest atteis.is,i
of his hearers to the end; and we have no
doubt that his earnest words set goodiy
number of them to thinking seriously of avail
ing themselves of the benefits and advantages
of this admirable order, which, in the hour of
dire distress, stretches out its protecting hand
to shield the widow aud the orphan from pow
erty and want.
After the lecture. the members and their
families, with few invited guests, including
several Companions from Vista Council, of
Washington, repaired to the Eureka House
by that prince of caterers-Maj. Austin La
combe--thus enjoying a feast of the palate as
well as of the soul. Toasts were very happily
responded to by Mr.. Chambers, Mr.. L. l. Tan
sey, Past Commander and Member of the
Grand Council Jos. Bloch. Esq, p. G, and
Deputy Grand Commander DR.. j. A. Der
banne, of Washington. Deputy Grand Com
mander; G. w DuRoy, Esq, Chaplain; Judge
e. ID. EstiIettc, and others. The entire occa-
sion was NEST enjoyable from beginning tn
end O
Mfss Chambers left on Wednesday morning
for Alexandril, where he hopes to organize a
local or Subordinate Council at 10 distant
day, and we bid him godspeed in his work.

Atclla faRay8 Sill.

Three hundred and twenty men and four
steamboats, are now at work at the scene. The
plan involves the laying of a sill in the Atcha-
falaya, six miles below the point of the juno
ton with the Red. and still being designed to
prevent the further securing of the channel and
caving of the bank cf the Atchafalaya whose
further enlargement threatens not only to
divert the entire waters of the Red from the
Mississippi but e2en, it is held by some en-
giueers, to ultimately defect the mighty Mis-
sissippi itself into another channel to the
Gulf.
The sill is to extend all the way across the
river and mp to the crest of the levees, aud
will be built up within twenty feet of the sur
face OF the river at low tide. tbs being built
of huge willow mattresses weighted down
with stones, and it's length will be about | 500
feet. The willow for the mattresses are cut
OH Turnbul's Island and transported to the
work in covered barges. The stone is brought
from Hau isburg, also in barges. The mat
tresses are built on ways, and measure 394
feet in length, rs in width and 3 in thickness
and to sink them 204 tons of stone is required.
Another detail of tho work in prosecution
of tho plan will l,c the erection of a dam ut
the mouth of the Red, SO placed as to defect
the waite er of the Red and the Ouachita from
both the Atchafa laya and Old River, through
the sugar house chute into the former chan
mel to the Mississippi on the left or east side
of Turnbull's Island, from the foot of which
to perfect the channel it is further designed
to built dixie to the Observation-Disclosures

OUR WasF. .-tetOm Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. %, 1887
THE EDJTORs OF THE CoTRJER.

To THE EDITORS OF THE COURIER:
The week has been rather uneventful one,
but that is usually the case tho week or two
before Congress meets, and generally it is only
the calm which precedes the storm. The hotel
registers are filling up, and the host Of board
ing houses are made conspicuous by the pla-
cards in the windows-"Furnished Rooms to
Rent" Every landlady is very independent
about renting because she hopes to get Sen
atOr or Member as q tenant who will pay any
where from $75 to $l25 month for q suite of
Two or three rooms, when the whole house
rents for only $40 or $50 month.
1t is expected that there will be even a
greater food of bills introduced this, than
last session, and it being short session the
lobbyists are already at work marshaling their
strength for the onslaught.
Most of the old employees of the House are
to be seen every day around the House Post
Office and Committee Rooms, on the lookout
for indications, as to the outcome of the con-
testfor the position Of doorkeeper. That of
tical has more patronage than any other of
the officials, and for that reason his place is
more sought after, The Clerk of the House
and the employees in his Office, and the Post
master, have always better chance for re-
election than any other officials, for the rea-
son that their positions bring them into per-
sonal communication with the new members
long before Congress assemblies and the ac-
quaintanceship thus formed often ripens into
friendship before there is any thought OF ou t.
siders of canvassing for the positions, and
thus it is that these officials are apt to be re-
elected unless there is change in party as,
cendaucy in Congress. Although there is still
much doubt as to who will be doorkeeper, it
is thought that the support which Carlisle,
Randall, Mills, Holman, Blount and Springer
give to Donelson will result in his reelection.
In either my next letter, or, at the latest
the one after the next, will be able to send
you letters sparkling with news. II.

vile New Era says of him land we fully en-

Answers to Correspondents.

Terrebonne Advocate
w Nillie.-It is now, and has been for the last
two years, predicted that the Reformers will
bolt the State Convention
Historian ALI the reformers who do not
desire fat positions are supposed to have died
about 400 years before Columbus discovered
America.
John R-McEnery will be the next gov
ernor of the State beyond doubt, and 1t is
even claimed by his friends that he will be
nominated on the first ballot
Robert.-The programme Of the Reform fac
tion is 10 claim everything, naeke contests, got
left, aud then raise the cry of trickery, ring
Vaccinations, robbery, in fact anything that
will help them along.
Fisherman eel is of the fish species,
resembling snake, slippery, but not as much
so as the average Reformer in McEnery
parish during the election of delegates to the
State Convention.
B. j. R.-Gibson and Blanchard are not OPP
posed to third terms as regards themselves.
Some one has certainly led you into error ii
you were under that impression, for those
gentlemen are only opposed to third terms as
far ms regards McEnery.
